Ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 70kDa, polypeptide 1

p70S6K, S6K, S6K1

This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 non-identical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates several residues of the S6 ribosomal protein. The kinase activity of this protein leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation. Amplification of the region of DNA encoding this gene and overexpression of this kinase are seen in some breast cancer cell lines. Alternate translational start sites have been described and alternate transcriptional splice variants have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.

... anti-tubulin was obtained from Abcam, anti-MyoD (5.8A) was obtained from Imgenex, antibodies against HDAC4, mTOR, phospho–T389-S6K1, MEF2A, and MEF2C were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, and all secondary ...

The mechanism for this is, first, during initial starvation, an elevated PA (the product of PLD enzymatic activity) activates mTOR and S6K, known to inhibit apoptosis and enhances cell migration especially in post-EMT cancer cells.

Chidamide alone or in combination with 5-Fu down regulated the expressions of p-AKT, p-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), p-p70S6K, p-Raf, and p44/42 mitogen activated protein kinase (Erk1/2), indicating the blockage of these signaling pathways.

Despite the differences in which IXN promoted modifications in the upper part of the PI3K/Akt and MEK-ERK signaling pathways between B16 and A375 cells, p70S6K and its target S6 protein in both types of melanoma cells, after transient activation, became inhibited.

Therapeutic effects of rapid-acting antidepressants have been linked with their ability to rapidly regulate neuronal excitability and thereby increase synaptic translation and release of BDNF, activation of the TrkB-mTOR-p70S6k signaling pathway and increased synaptogenesis within the prefrontal cortex.

While no difference was observed in the fasted state, in response to exercise and protein ingestion, the phosphorylation state of PKB (p &lt; 0.05 in Pro and Pro+ex) and S6K1 (p = 0.059 in Pro; p = 0.066 in Pro+ex) was lower in the older subjects compared with the young subjects.

Building on these results, we demonstrate that ASS1 deficiency in cancer increases cytosolic aspartate levels, which increases CAD activation by upregulating its substrate availability and by increasing its phosphorylation by S6K1 through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway.

Importantly, Sin1 phosphorylation, triggered by S6K or Akt, in a cellular context-dependent manner, inhibits not only insulin- or IGF-1-mediated, but also PDGF- or EGF-induced Akt phosphorylation by mTORC2, demonstrating a negative regulation of mTORC2 independent of IRS-1 and Grb10.
